Jul 12 2026 06:50 AM: Snowing and blowing out there this morning, with a few cms of snow outside, the temps currently -2 in the village and -4.9 up the top with a gusty WNW wind at 45-65km/hr. It started snowing on and off up the top late yesterday afternoon but a second front hit after midnight and and has been snowing consistently on the mountain since 1am with 10cms down to the cat shed and 20cms up the top. There's probably more at the top of the Basin, but the groomers said the snow is drifting up there and it's hard to tell.__________________The snowmakers fired up the guns at 4am and they are still running now up at Merritts, High Noon, the Supertrail and Friday Flat and the open runs have a good layer of fresh on a packed base. At this stage no new terrain will open today but they'll assess the cat track later. Snow falls and strong winds will continue throughout the day and it'll be pretty wild up there and I expect Kosi will be on wind-hold, possibly also the Cruiser. I'll update later. __________The snow is heavier on there lower mountain, just what we needed and snowfalls will continue over the two days but the Grasshopper reckons snow levels will rise at times. We will get good totals above 1700 metres and the wind will help fill in higher elevations - check out his forecast today for the full details. ____________ Great first half from the Wallabies against France, leading 21-12 at half time and were looking good. Then they turned in one of the worst second half performances ever, missing 20 something tackles to lose 42-26. Hopeless.___________ Anyway, this storm will help turn things around and remember there was no snow off piste prior to this, so don't get too adventurous. There is snow and ice on the road and chains are required so take care on the drive and have a good day. - Reggae
